Yeah I’ve had interactions like that as well. Another issue is a lot of this work is done through contracts with third-party developers too. I’ve met people who could say the name of the company they work for and you’d have to dig to find out they develop software for US military tank systems, so it is also easy for them to obscure their work if they understand people will challenge their participation in it.
I made the same mistake (of not realizing) a few years ago. But when i found out i quit as soon as i got some certification that got me started elsewhere.
